It would be great to see examples of what you’re happy with (as well as what you’re not). This is the right response. Me too! Did you read his post? He is happy with his results. Without looking you say they are worthless and not worth your time. Boorish.

And they did not have a coupled meter...FM=manual.

thanks!

Puttiing on my actual mycologist hat, formaldehyde is a great fungicide, but as it is very volatile, it depends on "wet time". Thus it is only active in the first step of your film's archival life, though this is the time of most exposure to spores--while hanging in a warm/wet darkroom. No...

Did this table render off-kilter? Your base time (1) is at 80°F rather than the usual 20°C/70°F (actually 68 but I find the difference in results negligeable for D-76 1:1).

And since we have wandered so far from B&W films, I want Cibachrome back too.

I took it (as I think most New Mexicans would) as a balloon far of course from the Festival. We have almost as many balloons plastered on signs and beer cans as we have ristras. As I and others have said before, almost all of us are more interested in the vision that the film (or sensor) (or...

Copied from the Danziger thread but equally applicable here! As I and others have said before, almost all of us are more interested in the vision that the film (or sensor) (or film+sensor) (and then printer/chromogenic dyes) can communicate rather than absolute faithful chromatic fidelity, as...

I always attributed that to cheap printing (especially compared to the methods AA collaborated/supervised himself) for these government-paid, public domain prints. I just went googling and there were some (eg. Taos pueblo gates) that were quite nice and sharp, but overall they look like...

What is the goal you wish to accomplish with your medium? Purely chromatic reproduction, granularity, Dmax/range? Some things are suited for direct comparison and require side-by-side comparison, some require subjective impressions. Blah blah blah

Close but not quite...add lipstick.

In my opinion, this type of post modernist work does several things, as above, but generates content worthy only of comment, not appreciation. Most especially something like hers, which is straight appropriation of the images with any "reinterpretation" as conversation after the fact, not in the...

Easy to use, and the conversion to RA-4 consists of turning a rheostat down for the temperature. I got one for practically free (but paid for shipping within the US about 15 years ago, but it's been in storage for >10 (I hope the mice have not had too much fun inside) and renovating soon and...

????? I don’t know about the AI version, but I can take you to within a few feet of AA’s site, near a dollar store in Hernandez. The Sangre de Christos are east, and sun is setting behind the Jemez mountains in the west. And just like the sun, all over the earth (and New Mexico is backwards in...

It's not an unpleasing image in itself, the colors are in keeping with the location (not for November, perhaps), but as it is entirely derivative it is an abomination in any context (and all art is to be appreciated only for context and not content in this post-post-modern world) I'm surprised...
